Fassfern Cottage

Set in the heart of the extensive Fassfern Estate, this delightful two-bedroom cottage is surrounded by miles of woodland walks. Pack up a picnic and head off along tree-lined paths or continue over surrounding hills for breathtaking views over Loch Eil towards the mighty Ben Nevis, looking out for deer, birds and butterflies along the way.

Forming part of Fassfern House but with its own private entrance, the property has been tastefully updated to offer modern comfort with plenty of traditional charm retained, complete with open fire, high ceilings and sash windows. Inside, the accommodation is homely and welcoming with tasteful neutral decor, antique artwork and cosy soft furnishings.

Prepare and enjoy delicious homecooked meals in the spacious traditional kitchen, which offers ample workspace and has a dining table to seat four. On those chilly evenings, light the open fire and hunker down on one of the plump and inviting sofas in the lounge before settling in for a relaxing evening in front of the TV, or simply unwind with a good book while listening to the radio.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are light and airy with pretty fabrics, delightful sash windows and antique dressing tables.

Stepping outside, there is a delightful patio with picnic bench for those sunny days. The lawn area beyond is the perfect place for dogs and children to play. With miles of wonderful walks right on the doorstep, there is a new route to discover every day.
